Lisa and Thomas Molina 

Program 4.16 - August 29, 2010

This week on Mary's Touch...

Welcome to a special Mary's Touch!
Listen 28:14

This week, in a special Mary's Touch, you'll from Lisa Molina and her son Thomas.

Thomas Molina, it is fair to say, is a remarkable boy. A three-time cancer survivor, he has spent most of his young life in and out of hospitals and treatment centers. Far from making him angry, his struggle to beat cancer has deepened his faith and the faith of those around him.

Lisa, his mother, is a woman with an exceptional spirit. When she found out that her son (who was only three years old at the time) had Leukemia, she was stricken but resolved: together, as a family with Christ's help, they could beat the disease. When the cancer returned a second and then a third time, Lisa nearly broke, and cried out to heaven "please God, take me, but not my son." As she lay at the foot of her son's cross, she was suddenly held up and strengthened by Mary.

Thanks to their parish priest, and the Blessed Mother, they got one.

And you’ll also hear from Katherine: Katherine volunteered to help her parish put on a CHRiP (Christ Renews His Parish) retreat. Stepping into Adoration to prepare herself, she was suddenly transformed by the Real Presence of Christ, and the presence of the Blessed Mother.

Evelyn and Nini

Program 3.09

Also playing on Mary's Touch...

"Growing up I had no exposure to religion.  But since I was little I always had a believe in God..."

This week you'll hear from Evelyn: Evelyn grew up Protestant but knew little about Jesus and even less about Mary. While thinking about (and even scoffing at) the rosary she had an epiphany: Mary was THE Mother of God. Not only did she embrace Mary but the Catholic faith as well.

You'll also hear from Nini: Abandoned by her mother, Nini was raised by an emotionally distant father. Longing for a mother, Nini found a rosary and prayer booklet in her father’s pocket. She asked Mary to be her mother, hold her, and change her tears to laughter.
